The Grassroots Shakespeare Company is an association of actors exploring the original practices of Shakespeare's stagecraft.

Our plays are fast-paced, interactive, open-air events, appealing to audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

Our shows are not stuffy, self-important, or difficult to understand.  They're accessible, original, and fun!  Come on out and play in the park - we're sure you'll love it!

What we (don't) do:

No Director: Actors direct themselves.

No Costumer: Actors bring their own costumes.

No Lighting Designer: Actors play to a visible audience.

No Full Script: Actors cue-scripts contain only their own part.

No Tech Week: Only a few days for rehearsal.

No Fourth Wall: The audience is part of the play.

No Concept: The story tells itself.
